LIME Architects is an architectural practice that is passionate about great designs and practical solutions and is based in the heart of Manly.
We marry clever design with practical solutions that are buildable, environmentally sensible, and cost effective. The extra you invest in good design and beyond just drafting will be evident and appreciated at our first design presentation.
Our business approach:
1. Listen to what are the key issues our clients wish to achieve then deliver unique design solutions.
2. Well considered design provides a better building lifestyle and ultimately higher resale value.
3. We offer solutions beyond client expectations.
Only 6 % of Australians commission an architect to take control of their residential building design. The remaining 94% elect to engage a building designer, saving the equivalent of the cost of a top of the range dishwasher. A good architect can save three times their fees worth by clever and efficient layouts and a hierarchy of item choices.
The 94% of Australians who engage a building designer, in many cases, spend their time and their hard earned money relying on a builder to solve poor planning layouts. Once construction commences, it is the builder the 94% relies on to pick up the pieces when they realise the layout is disappointing.
If you realise too late you have a building that is poorly designed, you will have ended your relationship with your designer and have to rely on their builder to throw good money in rectifying poorly considered layouts, inappropriate external claddings and possibly poor quality fittings and items.
You are entrusting your designer with one of, if not the single most important financial investment in your life. If you are going to live or work in a building, then choosing clever architects, is a financial investment not an expense.
Real benefits are in the resale profit but more importantly, better building lifestyle. It's about giving priority to those items that matter and saving on those items that are low in the list of must haves. We promise to guide you on the merits of how to make these choices.
Building Lifestyle. We refer to this term often, and you rarely hear this mentioned by other architects let alone building designers. What is this?
A great example is:
You are into day one of your holiday in a wonderful holiday house/apartment. You are overcome with a feeling of being relaxed. You love the feel of the place, the choice of materials, the colour combinations and the practical relaxed layout. Just then you announce to yourself and those within earshot,"Why can't we live like this?" You are experiencing that resort experience which you'd love to have more often. What you experience is the touch from someone who knows great and simple design.
The answer?
Simple. You don't need to go on more holidays to relax. Just imagine the final building result and invest in good design and have that resort feel and wonderfully clever layout at home.
Now you are thinking like the 6% of Australians.

Landscape architecture is an integral part of the design of one’s property and Justin can deliver creative, functional and attractive solutions.
Services offered are:
• Residential Landscape Design/Advice
• Commercial Landscape Design
• Planning Applications requiring Landscape Plans
• Children’s Kindergarten, School and Playspace / Playground Landscape Design/Advice
• Landscape Rehabilitation Design
These services include landscape presentation plans, planting plans, landscape construction plans, cost estimates, landscape specifications,
landscape masterplans and organisation of quotes for construction services.
Advice and designs are not limited to the above areas – Justin is keen to meet clients’ specific needs within required timeframes and budgets.
Should you require assistance with any of the above landscaping requirements, Justin would be pleased to hear from you to see how he may help.
Justin’s strong reputation and success have come from his belief that it is important to understand each individual client and his or her requirements. He believes in explaining the realities of every situation. He responds quickly and decisively to each challenge and his aim is to realize a successful outcome in every case.
Justin’s planning and design process is complemented by his wealth of creative talent and design flair, helping on one hand, to create new and innovative landscapes or on the other, to enhance tired ones. So, the textures and shapes of stone and other materials, sculpture and water features all blend with the softness of plant life.
The whole effect is a pleasing, workable and sustainable area that enhances the surrounding buildings. While he especially enjoys the challenge of a blank canvas, when only a simple design is required, Justin can provide a workable and an affordable design solution.
I am based in Victoria, but I will travel and work extensively throughout Melbourne, Regional Victoria and also New South Wales.
